Torba believes that years ago when Gab first started Google approached and hired a Chinese hacker company to infiltrate and spam the website with porn. The reason being is that when Gab was trying to get on the play store, Google would always deny them and cite there was just too much pornography on the website to make it legitimate for their play store. After that he knew exactly who and what he was dealing with so he just completely stopped.
iTunes was a bit more upfront. They pretty much just said unless he's going to censor people actively that there's no way they will let Gab on iTunes. Obviously Torba told them to shove it.
People forget but reddit it self was the original free speech site. They made a false charge on swartz and killed him in jail. Then turned Reddit in to the biggest censorship pit the internet has ever seen.
Torba's hope is redundancy, not "being the first" to make his own free speech site against the deep state. Reddit, vid.me (the real youtube killer that was taken off), bitchute (the second one), and voat all tried to take down the deep state and their owners got comp'ed and the site taken over.
It's seriously fucking depressing. I just want to say what's on my mind. I mean at this point my feeling is what's life worth living if I'm not allowed to discuss what's on my mind? I can be jailed for posting memes now. Is it worth fighting if you know you're going to be crushed?
LOLDONGS, no. It never was. Reddit was a Digg clone from day one, and there were other forums that preceded them in positioning themselves as free speech advocates (such as the shithole of retarded teenagers that was &TOTSE).
and voat all tried to take down the deep state
It did no such thing. Voat was one guy's academic project that accidentally got shitloads of traffic when r/fatpeoplehate (among others) got shut down on Reddit. He had no big plans, and never really put much effort into it. It quickly got overrun with assholes who just spammed up every thread with racist crap, pissed away what good will he had, and ultimately took it down.
In before someone gets the idea that the final solution to the Karen question involves donning hockey mask like Lord Humungus and besieging their iniquitous citadels in the wastelands of the Internet.
The internet has become a dystopian wasteland where warlord big tech companies just do whatever they like and nobody stops them.

Don't be defeatist
Keep going, they are hemorrhaging
I don't believe he was falsely accused - he admitted that he did what they accused him of, and it was not legal what he did.
However, the punishment they sought over the act was substantially more significant than it needed to be or should have been.

Nice reference, I just made this meme a couple of months ago myself. https://imgur.com/XrZVqqM
I’m sure Andrew will attack Parler again once this is all over to get even with them. That’s been his strategy so far.
